Holux Slim with PSP - Image 1PSP owners who want to maximize the power of their PSP by using Sony's portable gaming powerhouse for every application and external device imaginable can now have something new to try out.

PSP coder deniska managed to put together a GPS set-up using a PSP Slim, in conjunction with GPS devices such as Holux GPSlim 236-240 and M1000-1200.

The set up involves using a cable similar to the the one used by the PSP's remote accessory cable (the cable with control buttons), and deniska was kind enough to provide a diagram on which inner cable gets connected to certain parts of the PSP's remote cable accessory jack.

You'll also need the following prx module to execute the DIY project.

Yeah, it looks complicated, but look at the bright side: though you have to sacrifice a remote cable (seriously, who uses those anyway?!), you get to save $60 in that you can use your existing GPS instead of buying the proprietry sony model (which as far as I know can still only be gotten from foreign countries; I'm writing from the US). Also, even if you don't own a GPS system, it's still better to buy a universal GPS than to buy one that only interfaces with the PSP. I guess now's a good time to buy that Microsoft GPS / Streets And Trips pack.
